When wedding photographer Trish Barker emailed me back in October telling me she'd just shot Gene Simmons' vow renewal and asked if would I like to feature it, well, I just about died. To say this is the ultimate Rock n Roll wedding is a massive understatement. I am ridiculously honoured to be sharing this bad ass and beautiful ceremony on Rock n Roll Bride today!Read more...

Time management and productivity tips are littered all over the internet. In fact it might be one of the most searched for topics, but it's still something people always ask me about. 'Getting shit done' isn't rocket science though and just like anything difficult, there's no magic bullet answer or one trick that will transform you into a productivity wizard. While getting sucked into social media, crap on the telly or Pinterest are all key factors, it is your overall mindset that really needs to change if you're going to be your most productive self.Read more...

As the weddings showcased on this blog show, there are a million different ways to say "I do". A large family gathering, a small DIY affair, or a budget friendly backyard bash - the possibilities are endless. While wedding blogs are great for showing you style inspiration when planning your own big (or small!) day, I'm yet to see one actually publish a really comprehensive guide on how to physically plan a wedding.Read more...

Abbie and Chris were married at The Stables in Brinkburn Briory, a unique venue that really helped to set the tone of their day. "I think the venue for us was probably one of the most unique parts of our wedding", Abbie told me. "There hadn't been many weddings before ours there and the derelict building next to the priory has featured on the TV show 'Most Haunted'. It was a beautiful place for pictures."Read more...

Becca and Chris were married at Larmer Tree Gardens on the Dorset/ Wiltshire border. They wanted their day to be small and stress-free so they only had nine guests. "We didn't have a theme for our wedding, we just picked things we loved, without thinking too carefully about whether they would match," began the bride. "That's why I wore an art deco dress, the car was from the 1950s and our entertainment was a Mariachi band mash-up! The main thing was that we wanted our love of travel to come across, so we had a lot of map bunting, colour, and a global influence to our food and music."Read more...

Mor and Amnon were married at a nature reserve between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The location helped to set their theme of 'concrete and nature'. "We didn't want to decorate the place too much because the forest around is was everything," began Mor. "We wanted people to come and enjoy nature, but to have the concrete floor too dance on too!"Read more...

Elizabeth and Juan wanted their December wedding to be just like a High School Prom. "Our wedding theme helped everyone get in to the Prom spirit, attendees dressed in prom attire, and we went absolutely crazy with balloons", began the bride. "Our wedding party was such a mixed, motley crowd. We wanted everyone to have fun and use their own style for their outfits. We wanted to run screaming from the traditional thing and my's dream came true with my perfect pink dress. Our officiant even wore a purple prom dress!"Read more...

A few months before our big day, I started hunting for the very best beauty products to get me wedding day perfect... and when I say 'hunting' what I really mean is completely obsessing over. I had to find the most budge resistant lipstick, the moisturiser that would make me look dewy and glowy but not at all shiny and the hair products to make sure my tresses were in tip top condition.Read more...

When I featured Ainsley and Sebestien's engagement shoot in September I dubbed it "the coolest engagement shoot to date". I was pretty sure that their wedding would be suitably kick ass too but nothing (and I mean nothing!) could have prepared me for this. While I was hanging out with their wedding photographer Janneke Storm in Queensland, she started to tell me more about their upcoming elopement in Las Vegas. I made her promise then and there to send me the photos to blog afterwards. Luckily for me (and you!) she did.Read more...

Congratulations you're engaged! If you're new around these parts I'd like to say HAPPY NEW YEAR and a big fat hello. I am so excited to meet you. This is going to be one of the most awesome / stressful / exciting / fulfilling / hair-tearing (delete as appropriate) rides of your life and I for one can't wait for you to get started. I loved planning my wedding so much that I made it into my career. Gareth & I were married in April 2008. I started this blog to document the journey and I haven't stopped since. That's me at the top by the way, doing what I do best, lying around in glitter and confetti!Read more...

Abbie and Tristen were married at the iconic The George Hotel in Rye. They had a beautiful and alternative wedding, but one that didn't break the bank. As the venue was so gorgeous already that they didn't need to spend a fortune decorating it, a few stings of bunting and some homemade paper flowers and place names was just enough.Read more...

I was so excited to get Eileen's email about her wedding because she wore the Gala bow from my collection with Crown and Glory at their reception! Doesn't she rock it so well?! She and James were married at Brighton College and their wedding had a retro theme with geeky touches.Read more...

When Rob and Laura told me they had a fancy dress Alice in Wonderland/ Mad Hatter's tea Party wedding I thought "Wow that sounds cool, but I bet I've seen it all before..." Oh how wrong I was! Never in my life have I seen a wedding where everyone - the couple, the wedding party and the guests - threw themselves into it so much. These costumes are just off the hook awesome!Read more...

Anna and Tommy wanted a wedding that was "rustic, homemade, and Anthropologie meets Urban Outfitters in style" but with some added bite... literally. Oh yes, to go alongside their cute little wedding ideas they threw in some zombies - and why not?!Read more...

The majority of the women we meet and teach at The Blogcademy are just starting their blogs or businesses and most of them simultaneously hold down a full or part time job. Most of them tell us that their ultimate goal is to quit these jobs so they can focus on working for themselves. While we encourage them to do that when they’re ready, we’re also keen to share with them the huge benefits of working a day job while pursuing their dreams.Read more...

Savannah & Eliot's super cool, Nashville wedding was held at The Crying Wolf bar. They were married outside in the car park, which ended up being a surprisingly beautiful setting, and the reception was inside. With the venue already being so awesome and decorated in such a quirky way, the couple didn't need to add too much, but they included a few things they love like animal skulls and various pieces distressed wood from the bride's mother's farm. Savannah also designed and made all the stationery, the flowers were bought from a flower market and the cakes were made by friends. The venue did the food and drinks and they had a friend DJ the party.Read more...

The idea behind Tim and Holli's wedding was for it to reflect the things they love, so they opted for a vintage, tattoo and 1950s inspired day. They added personal touches by making the centrepieces themselves, Holli also made her own bouquet from 12 red roses.Read more...
